McGregor elected to Hockey Canada athlete committee

January 6, 2025

Forest’s Tyler McGregor has been chosen as one of eight members of a new Hockey Canada National Team Athlete Committee.

“The committee, which will represent the voice of Hockey Canada’s high-performance athletes across men’s, women’s and para hockey, will meet quarterly at a minimum and be empowered to make recommendations to Hockey Canada on issues that impact their fellow national team athletes,” said Hockey Canada in a statement over the weekend. Hockey Canada sought out athletes who had competed in international events and then held an election for the eight positions.

“Hearing from our athletes directly is critical to ensure that we are delivering the best possible experiences for our national teams, and we cannot wait to learn from the eight representatives on this new committee throughout their terms,” said Jonathan Goldbloom, chair of the Hockey Canada Board of Directors.

McGregor has been on Canada’s national para hockey team since 2012 and was named captain of the squad in 2019.
